Here's how you can successfully manage a team in live events to achieve success.

Hands down the most important and top 🔝 f the priority list is to HIRE RIGHT! You can teach just about any skill, grow an overachieving leader but you can’t teach ethic, empathy, loyalty or attitude. That’s where you spend the time. It’s invaluable to hire right.

To successfully manage a team during live events and achieve success, you can follow these steps. First, clearly define roles and responsibilities for each team member, ensuring everyone knows what is expected of them. Second, establish open and effective communication channels to keep everyone informed and address any issues promptly. Third, provide support and guidance to team members, helping them overcome challenges and stay motivated. Fourth, encourage collaboration and teamwork, fostering a positive and productive environment. Lastly, celebrate achievements and recognize the efforts of the team, boosting morale and motivation.

Before defining team members roles • Communicate to them date and location of the event at least 2 months before (notice period depends on the event scale) • Schedule a meeting and establish a shared communication channel to keep everyone updated on location set up, attendees, etc.

Successfully managing a team in live events involves: Clear Roles: Assign specific tasks and responsibilities. Detailed Planning: Develop a comprehensive plan with timelines and contingencies. Effective Communication: Maintain open communication through meetings and apps. Preparation: Conduct training sessions and rehearsals. Problem Solving: Address issues promptly and adapt as needed. Delegation: Empower team members to make decisions. Support: Provide encouragement and motivation. Feedback: Conduct a post-event debrief to discuss improvements. Implement these strategies for seamless and successful live events.

It is imperative to go over roles and objectives prior to the event. All events are perishable, therefore we have one shot to get it right, actually, perfect! Pre-event planning is a must!

Successfully managing a team in live events involves: Effective Communication: Maintain open lines of communication through regular meetings and messaging apps. Schedule daily briefings to discuss updates, address concerns, and align on tasks. Utilize tools like Slack or Microsoft Teams for instant communication and real-time updates. Ensure everyone has access to the event schedule and contact list. Encourage open dialogue, allowing team members to voice issues and share solutions promptly. Implement these strategies for seamless and successful live events.

The manager on duty must “walk the halls” during the event, guests eyes tell all, do interact, ask questions, I would check each station, each team member, and often pick up Bev naps that have been dropped.

Successfully managing a team in live events involves: Detailed Planning: Develop a comprehensive plan outlining all aspects of the event. Create a timeline that includes milestones, deadlines, and specific tasks. Incorporate contingency plans for potential issues like technical failures or schedule changes. Use project management tools like Trello or Asana to track progress and ensure everyone stays on schedule. Regularly review and update the plan to adapt to any changes. Implement these strategies for seamless and successful live events.

I have had the experience of losing the last 3 entrees due to a fall when they were the last of 150 entrees. Rushing to the chef I learned those three were the complete and final number. Panic! I found close replacements, cooked them on the fly, rushed them to the table, the guests asked why they looked somewhat different from other entrees on nearby tables, I explained that their server had collapsed, they were so appreciative. Always tell the truth!

One thing I learned in my experience at the Joint Civilian Orientation Conference #JCOC95 is the Army’s theory on leadership. The Army preaches that leadership comes from the top down but innovation has to come from the bottom up. A good leader needs to listen to his team that has boots on the ground and be open to their suggestions on how to innovate their practices. When your team sees that you are listening to them and are open to their suggestions, that will keep them motivated.

Successfully managing a team in live events involves: Support: Provide continuous encouragement and motivation to your team. Recognize and celebrate small wins and efforts to boost morale. Offer constructive feedback and be available to assist with challenges. Foster a positive environment by showing appreciation for their hard work. Arrange team-building activities to strengthen relationships and maintain high spirits. Ensure everyone feels valued and supported, which enhances overall performance and teamwork. Implement these strategies for seamless and successful live events.

Send a recap email before the date of the event to keep everyone updated and motivated. After the event send your team insights and attendees feedbacks and congratulate to everyone for the shared effort!

Team appreciation is the key to success, workers are there for more than a paycheck. Teams want to be recognized, accomplished, and see a completed, successful assignment. Always encourage your team members, thank them for following directions each time. Their actions will become positive habits. The “One Minute Manager” is the very best outline for team success!

Yeees, let's talk team motivation! As we're grinding towards event day, it's crucial to know what makes your squad tick. Some need constant props and encouragement, others just need a heads up when they're off track, and some are all about that end goal and the perks that come with it. Then there are those who thrive on small talk and check-ins, and others who just want the tea straight up, no sugarcoating. Whatever their vibe, recognize their hustle, offer incentives, and keep it positive! Celebrate those milestones and offer constructive feedback to keep them fired up. A motivated team = event success. Chin up, Chest Forward, big smile & Let's do this!

Live events are the perfect examples of why problem-solving skills are crucial. Empowering teams to make quick decisions can turn crises into smooth experiences. For example, a last-minute change of the rules at an international betting event required a fast strategy shift. Our team adjusted our marketing and communicated with stakeholders, staying compliant and avoiding fines. Such experiences show the value of a flexible team. With the right tools and authority, team members can confidently handle unexpected challenges.

Empower team members to make the corrective decisions. At DoubleTree we taught team members to handle a problem with the check-in cookie by running the cookie up to the room as soon as possible, not calling a manager. Empowerment gives the team the ability to correct issues that help them achieve more and accomplish goals. I teach, “problems are opportunities for solutions.” Solutions bring praise to the team member and recognition.

Successfully managing a team in live events to achieve success requires fostering a collaborative and supportive environment. Delegate tasks based on team members' strengths and expertise, and maintain organization by using project management tools and techniques. Regularly check in with your team to ensure progress and address any issues that arise. Encouraging teamwork and recognizing achievements can also boost morale and productivity.

Word, problem-solving skills are key when live events go sideways! You can't always anticipate the drama, but you can prep your team to handle it like pros. Give them the room to make calls on the fly and the tools to stay ahead of the game. Encourage them to be proactive, think critically, and squash potential issues before they become major headaches. Clear guidelines and a solid plan B (and C, and D...) can be total lifesavers. As the Director or team leader I always say to my team "and if my idea doesn't work whats plan B gonna be " When your team is empowered to think on their feet, you can roll with the punches and keep the show going. No meltdowns, no panic mode - just seamless solutions and a killer event. That's the way to do it!"

After the event, it's tempting to just let everyone go home without a recap meeting - after all, the hard part is over. However, a post-even debrief allows you to congratulate everyone who worked hard to make the event a reality and discuss performance - what went well and what should be improved next time. Verbalizing these suggestions makes them far more likely to be implemented.

I dont like post mortem but it not about preferences after the show. Its Debrief time, baby! After the event, gather your squad and get real about what went down. Celebrate the wins, but also get constructive about what could've been better. This is where the magic happens, folks! Use this sesh to learn, grow, and level up for the next event. In my Company Futurpointe we don't just focus on what went wrong, but also what went right👏 - and how you can repeat that magic. Keep it objective, keep it real, and keep it moving forward. Your team's performance will thank you, and so will your future events. Debriefing is key to unlocking your team's full potential - don't skip it!
